Kanye West Arrested Allegedly For Vandalism
R & B singer Kanye West was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport Thursday morning after allegedly damaging a photographer’s camera. LAX spokesman Marshall Lowe said that, “Mr. West was arrested at 7:51 a.m. outside the passenger screening area by airport police on charges of vandalism”. He also added that, “Initial reports say this incident involved a paparazzo and a camera valued at more than $10,000.”
“In addition, Mr. West’s [road manager] was arrested for vandalism and battery,” Lowe said. “Several witnesses are being interviewed by police. West and his bodyguard are being transported to an LAPD station where they’re expected to be booked.”
A TMZ.com video cameraman who was also on the scene reports that when West, 31, noticed that he was being photographed, he “rushed the photog and grabbed his camera…threw it to the ground, breaking it into pieces,” according to the website.
The TMZ.com cameraman, who was taping the events, says he was then approached by the road manager, who “grabbed [his] camera, ripped off the mic and viewfinder and smashed it to the ground.”
West’s representative had no comment for this issue.
